I thought a TN usually requires a degree?

A TN visa does not provide a path to US citizenship. The TN status is a temporary nonimmigrant status. You TN status lasts at most 3 years before it must be renewed, which renewal will certainly eventually be denied - they don't want you living in the US forever on TN visa renewals.

Most people on this board who are applying for US naturalization are eligible because they have been US Permanent Residents for 5 years (or 3 if they obtained their permanent residency through marriage to a US citizen and are still married to that US citizen). The only obvious ways a TN status holder can get US permanent residence and thereby begin to work towards eligibility for naturalization is to talk their employer into getting them an immigrant work visa, or by marrying a US citizen and filing for AOS.

DON'T PANIC
